Neymar: The Perfect Chaos (2022) s01e03 Episode Script
This is Paris
1
[shutter clicking]
[somber music playing]
[man in Portuguese] Every superhero movie
starts out with a tragedy, chaos.
First, there's chaos.
Then superheroes are born.
Without chaos, we wouldn't have Batman.
[somber music continues]
Now he is at PSG
and wants to go back to Barcelona.
I didn't want my son to leave PSG.
But who do I work for?
[shutter clicking]
I mean, there's no going back.
Once you throw yourself in, that's it.
[theme music playing]
[reporter 1 in English] Huge speculation,
over the Brazilian superstar Neymar
in a possible return to Barcelona
from PSG.
[reporter 2] A lot to unpack here.
Neymar's obviously had
a very difficult twelve months.
[reporter 3]
Everybody knows the situation.
Neymar doesn't want to be in Paris.
[reporter 4] Neymar to return to Barça,
is it possible?
[reporter 3] It is possible.
Neymar is for sale.
Neymar doesn't want
to be in Paris next season.
NEYMAR PRIORITIZES BARÇA
[man 1 in French] Neymar officially wants
to return to Barcelona.
The feedback we got
is that PSG isn't enough for him,
and he's not happy in Paris.
Because of that,
fans consider him a traitor.
TOTAL WAR NEYMAR-PSG
As a PSG fan, I'm not happy.
He'll leave after two years,
and he hasn't accomplished anything.
As usual, it was a love story.
We hope to stay together.
He acts like a celebrity
and thinks he's hot stuff.
We want them to pay.
He's an idiot. Neymar's an idiot.
[in Portuguese] When I made the decision
to leave Paris Saint-Germain,
it wasn't about the fans or the club.
It's just that I knew
I'd feel better somewhere else.
[teammate in French]
Sure, I don't want him to go.
I want him to stay with us.
I talked to him about it.
He knows what I think about the situation.
[reporter 6] The two clubs
are still in negotiations.
Neymar was willing to pay
20 million from his own pocket.
[speaking indistinctly]
[in Portuguese] Am I wrong?
[Neymar Sr.] Barcelona is quiet.
They have an event this afternoon.
Today, right?
Their silence is good because they are
thinking.
We tried it amicably,
but were unable to leave.
He hasn't left because the Sheik,
the big boss from Qatar,
won't sell him, no matter the sum.
Barcelona made a large offer,
higher than what he was sold for
from Barcelona to PSG.
[in French] As a global strategy,
PSG is resisting
to effectively give the impression
that PSG is a huge European club
because they were able
to say "no" to Neymar.
[reporter 7] PSG's next match
is on September 14 versus Strasbourg.
[Neymar in Portuguese] I want to leave
the club, and I don't want to be here,
but I must be happy,
practice, and get ready to play.
If I have a bad game,
nobody says, "Paris played poorly."
No. It'll all be on Neymar's shoulders.
A Champions League loss or a Ligue 1 loss,
if I'm on the field,
it's a Neymar loss, not a team loss.
That's my burden,
and I know I'm held accountable.
[chanting]
Man, you know how fans get.
Fans think with their heart.
[in French] I guess,
when it comes to the club,
he was disrespectful.
[in Portuguese] That's the sentiment.
They felt attacked and let down somehow.
[in French] He doesn't want to play
for us? That's his loss.
If he doesn't want to play for us,
he can just leave.
[in Portuguese] Booing is the way
fans get the message across to him.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[in French] Neymar, you son of a bitch!
Neymar, you son of a bitch!
[in Portuguese] First,
I couldn't believe it was happening.
[crowd chanting]
[in French] Neymar, you son of a bitch!
[in Portuguese] I couldn't believe it.
There it was.
[announcer speaking indistinctly]
[upbeat music playing]
[Neymar in Portuguese] Then I walk out,
my name is on the screen.
I touch the ball, and I get booed.
[crowd in French]
Neymar, you son of a bitch!
[in Portuguese] I had never witnessed
something like it before.
My own team,
my fans booing a player on my own team.
[Neymar] Honestly? [chuckling]
I like that atmosphere.
Well, I guess
I don't know,
when people are rooting against me
[crowd booing]
I think of myself.
I say, "I believe in me."
[crowd in French]
Neymar, you son of a bitch!
Neymar, you son of a bitch! Neymar
[in Portuguese] "I can do it.
I'm going to make it."
Fuck their feelings, right?
[upbeat music playing]
[whistle blows]
[crowd cheering]
[man in Portuguese] It isn't easy
when fans are against you.
It seemed to fuel him, though.
He remained confident.
It has the opposite effect on him.
He pushes harder. He tries to impress.
[fans cheering]
[Neymar]
Today was an important day for me.
Of course, this will be part of my career.
It happens.
Now I know I'll never feel at home here.
He's so skilled. He's able to stand out
and excel amid the chaos.
[vibrant music playing]
[fans] Neymar, you make us proud
Come take a picture with the crowd ♪
He's a star who shines from within.
[man] It'll get gray, okay?
[drums playing]
[Neymar] I depend on it.
I depend on football.
Nowadays, people are saying,
"Neymar is more of a superstar
than an athlete."
[fans clapping]
Neymar, where are you? ♪
[Neymar] I've been hearing it
since I was little.
I had already
a very different life compared to
other kids at school for two reasons.
We had no money,
and I had to train. [chuckles]
I have no regrets.
[fans chanting]
[woman] Get us three. I'm sweating.
[Neymar] Things started to work out
and grow out of proportion.
I don't want to be a star.
I want to be an athlete.
[door closes]
Check it out.
[speaking indistinctly]
- [Mom] How are you, son? Merry Christmas.
- Say, "Hi!"
[Mom] Hi, how are you?
[fans] Neymar ♪
I dye my hair because of you
But I can't sing ♪
- [woman screams]
- [fan] God dammit!
[fans clamoring]
[speaking indistinctly]
[shutter clicking]
Hi, son. How are you?
- [Davi] Good.
- Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. Dad misses you.
[Davi] I love you this big.
So do I, my love. I love you so much.
[shutter clicking]
[Neymar] Listen,
I got something you'll really like.
Merry Christmas!
- [Davi] I love you.
- [kisses]
- [woman] Merry Christmas!
- You too, Cá.
Send my love to Vini, okay?
- [woman] Okay. Big kiss.
- Love you all.
- [Davi] Bye.
- Bye, my love.
[chuckles]
- [Davi] Love you.
- Love you.
[Mom] We don't want
our children to suffer.
Bye!
We don't want many things
to happen to them,
but they must go through some things
to become more mature.
God is good to us, and He provides.
First of all, I want to thank God
for everything He has done for us in 2019.
He provides, and He'll touch your lives,
regardless of the time, the struggles,
the misfortunes, and the hard times.
We often ask you,
"Lord, why did you let this happen to us?"
"Why did you let us suffer so much, Lord?"
Now, Our Father, we ask not why.
We look for a purpose, Lord.
[reporter in English] Breaking news.
Kobe Bryant, the Laker's superstar,
one of five people that was on board
a helicopter that went down
in Calabasas earlier this morning.
And we are hearing reports
that there were no survivors.
[man in Portuguese] Man
It was heavy, right?
When he died, I don't know
Bro, it was so random, you know?
I said, "What the fuck was that?"
It was half-time.
We had the second half.
What can a coach say
at half time then, you know?
It was overwhelming.
We kept thinking and wondering
[inaudible]
He had been in Paris,
and we'd done a Nike shoot together.
To me, it was one of the best moments
I had with an idol of mine,
an icon, a legend, you know?
It was a very special moment.
He's not a random dude out there.
- He left a legacy.
- He definitely did.
He projected the image he wanted.
It was pretty heavy.
We were all down that day.
Sometimes, it's hard to talk
about my own behavior, you know?
You know me well. You know I get shy.
I don't like talking.
That's when I flipped the switch.
[host] Michael Jordan.
[audience cheering]
[uneasy music playing]
[in English] If you love something,
if you have
a strong passion for something,
you would go to the extreme
to try to understand
or try to get it.
Kobe gave every last ounce of himself
to whatever he was doing.
No one knows how much time we have.
That's why we must live in the moment,
we must enjoy the moment.
Please, rest in peace, little bro.
[audience clapping]
[Neymar Sr. in Portuguese] Now we must
pave the rest of the way for him.
He can't quit football, and I wish
that he, at least, gets to Jordan's level.
I don't want to see him
as a TV host, commentator,
none of that.
I want him to live off what he built,
what football has given to him.
Where will we be in ten years
when you stop playing?
There are news articles
about what you were like a year ago.
"Millionaire Neymar answers to daddy."
Ten years ago, the plan was
for a father to lead a son's career.
Now the plan is global.
That's why, when we started out together
ten years ago,
you always said, "I wanna play football.
He'll work it out."
"He does what he thinks is best."
You wanted to play.
Now you're an adult. You're 28 years old.
I can't plan ten years ahead
if you're not onboard.
I'll hand the company over to you.
You'll be the company adviser.
I want nothing to do with it.
You are the natural leader
of this company.
It'll go back to being the owner.
The one who really started it all.
[uneasy music playing]
[Neymar] If I quit football today
and took over his company
First of all, I don't want to take over.
It's the same pressure as football.
I don't care what others think.
Uh, I want to play football,
be the best in what I do,
which is helping my team win titles.
Forget about the media and the critics.
- [interviewer] Is it your goal this year?
- It's my goal this year.
All I ask of God is that
I don't get injured.
I want to finish off the year.
I've been in Paris for two years
and couldn't finish a Champions League.
Even if we lose in the end,
I want to be on the pitch
because I know I'm influential.
I can make a difference.
- [interviewer] You want to go all the way?
- Till the end.
[Emmanuel Macron in French]
We were aware of it, and we were afraid.
[siren wailing]
The virus is still spreading,
and it does so quickly.
This epidemic
is the most serious health crisis
France has gone through this century.
[reporter in English]
Those charged to keep us safe
are grappling with tough decisions.
The government will sit down on Monday
with sports authorities and broadcasters
to work out what they need to do.
[official 1 in French] I repeat,
we must limit going out
and all group activities.
[official 2] It was announced this morning
that the PSG versus Dortmund match
will take place behind closed doors.
[official 1] The rules are simple,
but the main rule is even simpler:
stay home.
[reporter in English] Thousands came
to support Paris Saint-Germain,
some dressed in fake hazmat suits
to protest against their exclusion
from the ground.
A government rule has banned
gatherings of more than 1,000 people.
Here, it was completely ignored.
[crowd chanting]
[chanting continues]
[teammate in Spanish] It's so important
because the team has never won
a Champions League,
and it's a dream we all have.
We want to make history.
[reporter in French] This is the match
everyone has looked forward to for weeks.
It's the match that could break
the curse for the Parisian team.
[chanting]
[teammate] We've suffered a lot
in previous years.
Uh, we got knocked out
in the quarterfinals, the round of 16.
Uh, there were matches
we couldn't believe that we lost.
[chanting]
[Thiago in Portuguese] The Ultra fans
are the heart of the team.
They always sing,
bring other supporters along,
make a difference to the atmosphere.
[chanting]
[Neymar]
What they did outside was beautiful.
We were all still a bit afraid.
It brought something different,
a good energy from the crowd.
[referee whistles]
[suspenseful music playing]
[reporter in French] Neymar is fit.
That's good news for Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris must win
with at least a two-goal lead.
Fans outside Parc de Princes
can be heard with their firecrackers.
[chanting]
Paris!
[Thiago in Portuguese]
The way the team went onto the pitch,
playing aggressively and focused.
It was mainly due to Neymar's demeanor.
He's not the captain.
He doesn't wear the armband.
[in French] Let's go, Paris!
[in Portuguese] If he's doing well, you
bet Paris Saint-Germain can always soar.
[analyst in French] Watch Marquinhos,
watch Cavani, who wants it too.
[commentator1] Yes! It's Neymar!
[commentator 2] It's Neymar!
[commentator 1]
All by himself on the far post.
That's what we obviously expect of him
in a match like this.
[people applauding, cheering]
[commentator 2] After three consecutive,
frustrated attempts,
Paris Saint-Germain
managed to exorcise their demons.
They're back
in the Champions League quarterfinals.
[inaudible]
[uplifting music playing]
[commentator speaking indistinctly]
- [firecrackers bursting]
- [fans cheering]
[fireworks crackling]
[fireworks crackling]
[cheering]
[Neymar in Portuguese]
It was so cool, very thrilling.
[cheering]
I never had anything
against Paris Saint-Germain fans
or the club itself.
It wasn't about that.
On the contrary, I'm thankful to them.
We're on the same side.
We wear the same jersey.
[cheering]
[Neymar] I'm here to help.
[reporter in English] The big story today
was that all UEFA competition matches,
including the Champions League,
Europa League, Women's Champions League
are postponed until further notice.
- [thunder rumbling]
- [rain pattering]
[Neymar Sr. in Portuguese] The entire
world's population is hopeless, right?
Nobody really knows what to do.
We found out
Paris would shut down its airspace.
We were afraid. "Are we stuck in Paris?"
We said, "Let's go back to Brazil."
[somber music playing]
[elevator dings]
[speaking indistinctly]
[Neymar] I must say I was at a nice place.
It was pretty cool.
I was with family and friends.
[Neymar Sr.] Gotta get to work.
How are you doing?
Did you get COVID?
- Not yet?
- [interviewer] Not yet.
You got it, right?
[Neymar Sr.] Man, it was crazy.
I'm off the hook.
[elevator dings]
If you only knew
how I love cameras chasing me
[indistinct chatter]
- [elevator dings]
- Did you get sick?
[Neymar] I guess we must live
I wish I were in heaven ♪
for one another, because we often
get caught up in this crazy world.
Let's go!
Come on, Mr Neymar.
We don't slow down.
You forget about your loved ones,
forget to hug them and enjoy them.
[speaking indistinctly]
What's that?
When you stop and do that,
you realize what makes you happy.
For me, personally, what I value the most
was there by my side.
That was my son, so
[laughing]
[Neymar] I had never spent
so much time with my son.
To me, it was a very important time.
[vibrant music playing]
[shouting indistinctly]
The thing is, I guess I really found out
that I love football for real
after so much idle time, even though
I trained hard, you know?
But that kind of training
wasn't a job obligation, right?
That's how I want to live life. [chuckles]
[plane engine roaring]
[Neymar] Now we're chasing
our biggest dream.
Now, it's so close
we can smell it. [laughing]
[drums playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Neymar] Uh, talking about the team,
I think we're a stronger team,
more compact and prepared, I would say.
I think it's the best atmosphere
I've had in Paris
in these past three years.
[Thiago] Neymar's first training session
All eyes were on him.
"What did this boy do on his time off?"
[speaking indistinctly]
[Thiago] Everyone's legs were tired,
but he got the ball, dribbled past three,
scored, passed it around.
We thought it was odd.
[in French] Your mind gets loud
during lockdown.
[chuckling]
Football brings out
this inexplicable energy.
[laughing]
[official in English]
The UEFA Champions League will be played
as a final-eight straight
knockout tournament in Lisbon.
[Neymar in Portuguese] It'll be
a different Champions League
from everything we've seen before.
We must get ready for it,
both tactically and psychologically.
It's non-stop.
[dramatic music playing]
[reporter in French] Five months
after the second game
in the round of 16 versus Dortmund,
Paris gets to advance to
the quarterfinals of the Champions League
for the first time in 25 years.
The second time in their history.
[Di María in Spanish] Losing the round
of 16 and quarterfinals.
We always fear the same things.
[in Portuguese] We got back
to our training and all.
Our coaches were a bit worried
about Atalanta.
I must confess,
I didn't think it'd be so hard
to advance to the next stage.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Thiago] It's 50-50 while you're battling.
Like in the UFC, if you strike hard first,
the odds are in your favor.
[whistle blows]
So it happens that they struck hard first,
and it was a decisive blow.
[commentator in English]
Djimsiti. Zapata let it run.
And got it back. It's Pašalić who scores!
[fans cheering]
[Thiago in Portuguese]
Neymar has his place in the team.
He's the star who makes a difference.
[suspenseful music playing]
[commentator in English] It's Neymar!
It's gotta happen for him soon.
[in Portuguese] At eighty-something
almost 90 minutes. It was 1-0 to Atalanta.
I thought,
"Damn, will I lose today's game?"
"Will I go back home,
and feel like I could have gone further?"
[dramatic music playing]
I said, "C'mon! Five minutes left!"
"Just the injury time."
"No time to feel sorry for ourselves.
Let's do it!"
"In these five minutes,
we must give it our all, no matter what."
"We can't get knocked out this way."
I asked God for a good ball.
"Help me out!" [chuckles softly]
[indistinct yelling]
[commentator speaking French]
[cheering]
[inaudible]
[cheering continues]
LET'S GO!!
[screaming excitedly]
[in Portuguese] Fucking awesome!
Let's fucking do it, PSG!
- Fuck!
- [man] God dammit!
God, at 90 minutes, man!
We thought, "Let's turn it around."
"Let's not go to extra time, no way."
[commentator 1 in French]
There's room to
[commentator 2] Passes to Mbappé,
Choupo-Moting!
[commentator 1] Choupo-Moting
is sending us to the semifinals!
[commentator 2] What an amazing event!
[Neymar in Portuguese]
That's when we did it. What a relief.
[cheering]
[chanting]
We flipped the score, and I felt relieved,
personally.
[in French] Thank you
Thank you, Paris ♪
Thank you, Paris
Thank you ♪
[woman in Portuguese] We're still alive!
You're the GOAT!
If you don't like Neymar,
or you dislike PSG, well
@NEYMARJR IS THE GOA
There's more next week. [cheers]
Guys, that was tough!
For the love of God. I'm really happy.
Here's my golden boy.
[in English] Semifinals, here we go!
- [in Portuguese] Okay? Okay!
- [laughing]
[kisses] Let's do it!
[reporter] Brazil wants to know.
Where's Daddy?
Daddy's still here. [laughing]
Daddy's still here.
I started joking around,
saying, "Daddy's here."
DADDY'S HERE
People liked it,
and it caught on. [laughs]
He played for Santos
Taught us what talent is ♪
A champion in Barcelona
Now he's in Paris ♪
He wants to be the GOA
Says "Daddy's here" ♪
The boy's online ♪
He keeps going ♪
Daddy's here ♪
- Daddy's here!
- Daddy's here!
Daddy's here!
"Daddy" is the ruler,
the one who dictates
the relationship, you know?
So
I support Neymar wherever he plays!
I support Neymar
I have no words to explain
what I felt when I saw
that everyone online
was going crazy that way.
And my country was there for me,
driving me, pushing me.
It gave me strength.
It really helped.
Now he's in Paris ♪
He wants to be the GOAT ♪
Captain, the moment is here.
[reporter in French] "Dream big."
PSG's slogan takes on a new meaning.
It's a unique opportunity
to reach the Champions League final.
[reporter in English]
It's a very different Neymar
to the one we've had in Paris
for the last three years now.
He's playing the best football
of his career. He looks far more humble.
I really think
that he is far happier in his life,
in the way he plays.
[cheering]
[commentator speaking French]
Paredes is going to take advantage of it!
With Di María! For the Parisians!
It's a magic trick given by Neymar.
And all Di María's lucidity.
Oh, what an inspiration.
- These are signs of a confident man.
- [commentator 2] Yes.
[commentator 1] Paris gets to
the Champions League final
for the first time in history.
On their 50th anniversary,
PSG gives their fans a great gift!
[cheering]
[Neymar in Portuguese] My captain is dead.
Old man.
[team in French]
Ole, ole, we're in the final ♪
Ole, ole, we're in the final ♪
We're in the final ♪
Ole, ole, we're in the final ♪
We're in the final ♪
[in Portuguese] Let's fucking do it!
[cheering, whistling]
[drums playing]
We enjoyed ourselves, partied,
jumped around, had fun, and we were happy.
But we were already focused
on the next match
because we weren't done yet.
We wanted to win the Champions League.
[man singing indistinctly]
[speaking indistinctly]
[crowd cheering]
[man 1 in French] This is the best moment
for Paris and France.
We've been waiting
for this moment for 50 years!
Fifty years!
[crowd chanting]
[man 1] It's been hard to get back
after the COVID-19 lockdown.
Our players are in good shape,
the team is working well together.
Neymar is in shape.
The team is very united.
[cheering]
[man 2] At first,
Neymar somehow had problems with the fans.
Right now, it's a love story.
We're all supporting Neymar
because he's the conductor,
and he's now playing with love.
[reporter 1] Good evening
and welcome to Estádio da Luz.
Today, 50 years ago,
PSG played their first final in history.
[reporter 2] PSG reached the finals
thanks to some new talent,
as well as Neymar's contributions.
[Neymar in Portuguese] I kept thinking
In my mind, I kept repeating,
"Settle down, you're here," you know?
[soft music playing]
[in Spanish] Every player dreams
of getting to a Champions final.
You can't help but think
of everything that might happen.
It's unique.
I can't explain it.
[Neymar in Portuguese] We knew it'd be
a tough game against an aggressive team.
But I was at peace.
I was pretty happy,
light on my feet.
[whistle blows]
[fans cheering]
[Neymar] We had a chance to score,
but we missed it.
[somber music playing]
[crowd screaming]
[Navas in Spanish] It was a great effort,
and the team should be proud
because we held our head high
and kept going.
[inaudible]
[teammate] We kept playing our game
and didn't change.
He kept the same mentality.
[Neymar in Portuguese]
And then it was all over.
[referee whistles]
[cheering]
[Thiago] Looking at our team,
it shouldn't have happened.
But that's football.
That's how football works.
I got so close, you know?
But we couldn't
I was devastated,
completely saddened by it,
like all the other players.
[man 1 in French] I won't lie.
We're super disappointed after this loss,
but we're a bit proud too.
It was our first final. We made history.
[Neymar in Portuguese]
After that jolt of adrenaline,
we look back and say,
"Man, we did something huge."
[cheering]
[man 2 in French] It means
the world to us Parisians.
We all play football from an early age.
A few of us are fortunate
and make it to the top.
We support the club.
We're Parisians, and we're proud.
It represents our community.
It's our club, our identity.
PSG deserved the win.
We've been awaiting for so long.
They had the best team they could afford.
It's totally unfair.
[man 3] Never forget that we made it
to the Champions League final.
It's a big deal. We wanted to win.
[inaudible]
[man 3] Our first time.
There'll be more, God willing.
[fans] We're at home ♪
We're at home ♪
We're at home ♪

[somber music playing]
[Neymar Sr. in Portuguese] When I talk
to people, I talk about Neymar.
Why did we make this far?
How did we make this far?
How did we overcome all obstacles?
Experiencing Neymar's daily life.
Always being by his side.
While I'm by his side, I won't give up.
And I'm certain he won't give up on me.
So, sometimes,
Neymar steps out of the chaos,
as you can see.
[upbeat music playing]
Yet, chaos is constant in football.
[crowd in French]
Neymar, son of a bitch ♪
[in Portuguese] The next day,
he's out playing again.
There's always another tournament.
There are more demands, so
As things keep moving,
Neymar becomes a possible hero.
[crowd cheering]
You can demand a lot of Neymar,
and he steps up to the challenge
because I always demanded a lot of Neymar.
- What's your name?
- Neymar.
- [Neymar Sr.] A bit louder.
- Neymar.
[Neymar Sr.] Do you think
your future is in football?
[Neymar] Yes, it is.
GOLDEN BOOTS
[Neymar] When you're little
when you dream big
you don't think about being famous.
You think,
"I want to be a football player."
We got on that pitch.
We broke in so we could play there.
That's my institute now.
During the little time off I have,
I came to see the kids at the institute,
see how they're doing.
It was my dream, my family's dream.
[Neymar Sr.] This is my legacy.
Instituto Neymar Jr. is my legacy.
What I've been through,
all I've learned,
even at school, I've brought it here.
The metaphorical school, you know?
The school of life, right?
[in English] I think the legacy now
You have a real opportunity
to make a difference. Not just
on the field, but off the field.
And sometimes, what you do off the field
is more important than some of the things
that have happened on the field.
[Lima in Portuguese] Neymar is great.
That scrawny kid is great.
He was the cornerstone for all this.
You know, he learned.
He really made it there,
and he did so on his own merits.
The main lesson?
Here's a marvel.
It's about
believing you can do it.
Will we play football in a bit?
- We will.
- Down at the square?
- Are you gonna make Dad play?
- Mm-hm.
- At the square?
- Mm-hm.
Let's do it then.
[chuckling]
Right now?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
[Davi] What are the best boots
for that pitch downstairs?
[Neymar] The ones without the studs.
Dad will help you.
- Does it still fit you?
- [Davi] It does.
[Neymar] Wait.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Neymar] We're coming.
- How do we get in?
- [Davi] There.
Pull it.
Push it. It's not locked.
Dad, Luca, Igor
Pick your teams. Dad will be goalie.
You and someone else.
[Neymar Sr.] Children don't fall in love
with football as a sport.
Run, Dad!
[Neymar Sr.] At first,
they fall in love with a ball.
No complaining, Davi. [grunts]
[Neymar Sr.] They don't care
about the pitch, the rules.
They can play anywhere.
Damn, Davi! Score now!
Score now!
Goal!
Bug spray, anyone?
[Neymar] How does it end?
Man
Fuck, bro.
Ah, the end! [laughing]
No.
It's not the end.
We keep going. We keep soaring.
[upbeat music playing]
THE STORY CONTINUES
LET'S GO, PSG
[music continues]
[shutter clicking]
[somber music playing]
[man in Portuguese] Every superhero movie
starts out with a tragedy, chaos.
First, there's chaos.
Then superheroes are born.
Without chaos, we wouldn't have Batman.
[somber music continues]
Now he is at PSG
and wants to go back to Barcelona.
I didn't want my son to leave PSG.
But who do I work for?
[shutter clicking]
I mean, there's no going back.
Once you throw yourself in, that's it.
[theme music playing]
[reporter 1 in English] Huge speculation,
over the Brazilian superstar Neymar
in a possible return to Barcelona
from PSG.
[reporter 2] A lot to unpack here.
Neymar's obviously had
a very difficult twelve months.
[reporter 3]
Everybody knows the situation.
Neymar doesn't want to be in Paris.
[reporter 4] Neymar to return to Barça,
is it possible?
[reporter 3] It is possible.
Neymar is for sale.
Neymar doesn't want
to be in Paris next season.
NEYMAR PRIORITIZES BARÇA
[man 1 in French] Neymar officially wants
to return to Barcelona.
The feedback we got
is that PSG isn't enough for him,
and he's not happy in Paris.
Because of that,
fans consider him a traitor.
TOTAL WAR NEYMAR-PSG
As a PSG fan, I'm not happy.
He'll leave after two years,
and he hasn't accomplished anything.
As usual, it was a love story.
We hope to stay together.
He acts like a celebrity
and thinks he's hot stuff.
We want them to pay.
He's an idiot. Neymar's an idiot.
[in Portuguese] When I made the decision
to leave Paris Saint-Germain,
it wasn't about the fans or the club.
It's just that I knew
I'd feel better somewhere else.
[teammate in French]
Sure, I don't want him to go.
I want him to stay with us.
I talked to him about it.
He knows what I think about the situation.
[reporter 6] The two clubs
are still in negotiations.
Neymar was willing to pay
20 million from his own pocket.
[speaking indistinctly]
[in Portuguese] Am I wrong?
[Neymar Sr.] Barcelona is quiet.
They have an event this afternoon.
Today, right?
Their silence is good because they are
thinking.
We tried it amicably,
but were unable to leave.
He hasn't left because the Sheik,
the big boss from Qatar,
won't sell him, no matter the sum.
Barcelona made a large offer,
higher than what he was sold for
from Barcelona to PSG.
[in French] As a global strategy,
PSG is resisting
to effectively give the impression
that PSG is a huge European club
because they were able
to say "no" to Neymar.
[reporter 7] PSG's next match
is on September 14 versus Strasbourg.
[Neymar in Portuguese] I want to leave
the club, and I don't want to be here,
but I must be happy,
practice, and get ready to play.
If I have a bad game,
nobody says, "Paris played poorly."
No. It'll all be on Neymar's shoulders.
A Champions League loss or a Ligue 1 loss,
if I'm on the field,
it's a Neymar loss, not a team loss.
That's my burden,
and I know I'm held accountable.
[chanting]
Man, you know how fans get.
Fans think with their heart.
[in French] I guess,
when it comes to the club,
he was disrespectful.
[in Portuguese] That's the sentiment.
They felt attacked and let down somehow.
[in French] He doesn't want to play
for us? That's his loss.
If he doesn't want to play for us,
he can just leave.
[in Portuguese] Booing is the way
fans get the message across to him.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[in French] Neymar, you son of a bitch!
Neymar, you son of a bitch!
[in Portuguese] First,
I couldn't believe it was happening.
[crowd chanting]
[in French] Neymar, you son of a bitch!
[in Portuguese] I couldn't believe it.
There it was.
[announcer speaking indistinctly]
[upbeat music playing]
[Neymar in Portuguese] Then I walk out,
my name is on the screen.
I touch the ball, and I get booed.
[crowd in French]
Neymar, you son of a bitch!
[in Portuguese] I had never witnessed
something like it before.
My own team,
my fans booing a player on my own team.
[Neymar] Honestly? [chuckling]
I like that atmosphere.
Well, I guess
I don't know,
when people are rooting against me
[crowd booing]
I think of myself.
I say, "I believe in me."
[crowd in French]
Neymar, you son of a bitch!
Neymar, you son of a bitch! Neymar
[in Portuguese] "I can do it.
I'm going to make it."
Fuck their feelings, right?
[upbeat music playing]
[whistle blows]
[crowd cheering]
[man in Portuguese] It isn't easy
when fans are against you.
It seemed to fuel him, though.
He remained confident.
It has the opposite effect on him.
He pushes harder. He tries to impress.
[fans cheering]
[Neymar]
Today was an important day for me.
Of course, this will be part of my career.
It happens.
Now I know I'll never feel at home here.
He's so skilled. He's able to stand out
and excel amid the chaos.
[vibrant music playing]
[fans] Neymar, you make us proud
Come take a picture with the crowd ♪
He's a star who shines from within.
[man] It'll get gray, okay?
[drums playing]
[Neymar] I depend on it.
I depend on football.
Nowadays, people are saying,
"Neymar is more of a superstar
than an athlete."
[fans clapping]
Neymar, where are you? ♪
[Neymar] I've been hearing it
since I was little.
I had already
a very different life compared to
other kids at school for two reasons.
We had no money,
and I had to train. [chuckles]
I have no regrets.
[fans chanting]
[woman] Get us three. I'm sweating.
[Neymar] Things started to work out
and grow out of proportion.
I don't want to be a star.
I want to be an athlete.

God is good to us, and He provides.
First of all, I want to thank God

He provides, and He'll touch your lives,

"Why did you let us suffer so much, Lord?"
Now, Our Father, we ask not why.
We look for a purpose, Lord.
[reporter in English] Breaking news.
Kobe Bryant, the Laker's superstar,
one of five people that was on board
a helicopter that went down
in Calabasas earlier this morning.
And we are hearing reports
that there were no survivors.
[man in Portuguese] Man
It was heavy, right?
When he died, I don't know
Bro, it was so random, you know?
I said, "What the fuck was that?"
It was half-time.
We had the second half.
What can a coach say
at half time then, you know?
It was overwhelming.
We kept thinking and wondering
[inaudible]
He had been in Paris,
and we'd done a Nike shoot together.
To me, it was one of the best moments
I had with an idol of mine,
an icon, a legend, you know?
It was a very special moment.
He's not a random dude out there.
- He left a legacy.
- He definitely did.
He projected the image he wanted.
It was pretty heavy.
We were all down that day.
Sometimes, it's hard to talk
about my own behavior, you know?
You know me well. You know I get shy.
I don't like talking.
That's when I flipped the switch.
[host] Michael Jordan.
[audience cheering]
[uneasy music playing]
[in English] If you love something,
if you have
a strong passion for something,
you would go to the extreme
to try to understand
or try to get it.
Kobe gave every last ounce of himself
to whatever he was doing.
No one knows how much time we have.
That's why we must live in the moment,
we must enjoy the moment.
Please, rest in peace, little bro.
[audience clapping]
[Neymar Sr. in Portuguese] Now we must
pave the rest of the way for him.
He can't quit football, and I wish
that he, at least, gets to Jordan's level.
I don't want to see him
as a TV host, commentator,
none of that.
I want him to live off what he built,
what football has given to him.
Where will we be in ten years
when you stop playing?
There are news articles
about what you were like a year ago.
"Millionaire Neymar answers to daddy."
Ten years ago, the plan was
for a father to lead a son's career.
Now the plan is global.
That's why, when we started out together
ten years ago,
you always said, "I wanna play football.
He'll work it out."
"He does what he thinks is best."
You wanted to play.
Now you're an adult. You're 28 years old.
I can't plan ten years ahead
if you're not onboard.
I'll hand the company over to you.
You'll be the company adviser.
I want nothing to do with it.
You are the natural leader
of this company.
It'll go back to being the owner.
The one who really started it all.
[uneasy music playing]
[Neymar] If I quit football today
and took over his company
First of all, I don't want to take over.
It's the same pressure as football.
I don't care what others think.
Uh, I want to play football,
be the best in what I do,
which is helping my team win titles.
Forget about the media and the critics.
- [interviewer] Is it your goal this year?
- It's my goal this year.
All I ask of God is that
I don't get injured.
I want to finish off the year.
I've been in Paris for two years
and couldn't finish a Champions League.
Even if we lose in the end,
I want to be on the pitch
because I know I'm influential.
I can make a difference.
- [interviewer] You want to go all the way?
- Till the end.
[Emmanuel Macron in French]
We were aware of it, and we were afraid.
[siren wailing]
The virus is still spreading,
and it does so quickly.
This epidemic
is the most serious health crisis
France has gone through this century.
[reporter in English]
Those charged to keep us safe
are grappling with tough decisions.
The government will sit down on Monday
with sports authorities and broadcasters
to work out what they need to do.
[official 1 in French] I repeat,
we must limit going out
and all group activities.
[official 2] It was announced this morning
that the PSG versus Dortmund match
will take place behind closed doors.
[official 1] The rules are simple,
but the main rule is even simpler:
stay home.
[reporter in English] Thousands came
to support Paris Saint-Germain,
some dressed in fake hazmat suits
to protest against their exclusion
from the ground.
A government rule has banned
gatherings of more than 1,000 people.
Here, it was completely ignored.
[crowd chanting]
[chanting continues]
[teammate in Spanish] It's so important
because the team has never won
a Champions League,
and it's a dream we all have.
We want to make history.
[reporter in French] This is the match
everyone has looked forward to for weeks.
It's the match that could break
the curse for the Parisian team.
[chanting]
[teammate] We've suffered a lot
in previous years.
Uh, we got knocked out
in the quarterfinals, the round of 16.
Uh, there were matches
we couldn't believe that we lost.
[chanting]
[Thiago in Portuguese] The Ultra fans
are the heart of the team.
They always sing,
bring other supporters along,
make a difference to the atmosphere.
[chanting]
[Neymar]
What they did outside was beautiful.
We were all still a bit afraid.
It brought something different,
a good energy from the crowd.
[referee whistles]
[suspenseful music playing]
[reporter in French] Neymar is fit.
That's good news for Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris must win
with at least a two-goal lead.
Fans outside Parc de Princes
can be heard with their firecrackers.
[chanting]
Paris!
[Thiago in Portuguese]
The way the team went onto the pitch,
playing aggressively and focused.
It was mainly due to Neymar's demeanor.
He's not the captain.
He doesn't wear the armband.
[in French] Let's go, Paris!
[in Portuguese] If he's doing well, you
bet Paris Saint-Germain can always soar.
[analyst in French] Watch Marquinhos,
watch Cavani, who wants it too.
[commentator1] Yes! It's Neymar!
[commentator 2] It's Neymar!
[commentator 1]
All by himself on the far post.
That's what we obviously expect of him
in a match like this.
[people applauding, cheering]
[commentator 2] After three consecutive,
frustrated attempts,
Paris Saint-Germain
managed to exorcise their demons.
They're back
in the Champions League quarterfinals.

[Neymar in Portuguese]
It was so cool, very thrilling.
[cheering]
I never had anything
against Paris Saint-Germain fans
or the club itself.
It wasn't about that.
On the contrary, I'm thankful to them.
We're on the same side.
We wear the same jersey.

[Neymar] I'm here to help.
[reporter in English] The big story today
was that all UEFA competition matches,
including the Champions League,
Europa League, Women's Champions League
are postponed until further notice.
- [thunder rumbling]
- [rain pattering]
[Neymar Sr. in Portuguese] The entire
world's population is hopeless, right?
Nobody really knows what to do.
We found out
Paris would shut down its airspace.
We were afraid. "Are we stuck in Paris?"
We said, "Let's go back to Brazil."
[somber music playing]
[elevator dings]
[speaking indistinctly]
[Neymar] I must say I was at a nice place.
It was pretty cool.
I was with family and friends.
[Neymar Sr.] Gotta get to work.
How are you doing?
Did you get COVID?
- Not yet?
- [interviewer] Not yet.
You got it, right?
[Neymar Sr.] Man, it was crazy.
I'm off the hook.
[elevator dings]
If you only knew
how I love cameras chasing me
[indistinct chatter]
- [elevator dings]
- Did you get sick?
[Neymar] I guess we must live
I wish I were in heaven ♪
for one another, because we often
get caught up in this crazy world.
Let's go!
Come on, Mr Neymar.
We don't slow down.
You forget about your loved ones,
forget to hug them and enjoy them.
[speaking indistinctly]
What's that?
When you stop and do that,
you realize what makes you happy.
For me, personally, what I value the most
was there by my side.
That was my son, so
[laughing]
[Neymar] I had never spent
so much time with my son.
To me, it was a very important time.
[vibrant music playing]
[shouting indistinctly]
The thing is, I guess I really found out
that I love football for real
after so much idle time, even though
I trained hard, you know?
But that kind of training
wasn't a job obligation, right?
That's how I want to live life. [chuckles]
[plane engine roaring]
[Neymar] Now we're chasing
our biggest dream.
Now, it's so close
we can smell it. [laughing]
[drums playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Neymar] Uh, talking about the team,
I think we're a stronger team,
more compact and prepared, I would say.
I think it's the best atmosphere
I've had in Paris
in these past three years.
[Thiago] Neymar's first training session
All eyes were on him.
"What did this boy do on his time off?"
[speaking indistinctly]
[Thiago] Everyone's legs were tired,
but he got the ball, dribbled past three,
scored, passed it around.
We thought it was odd.
[in French] Your mind gets loud
during lockdown.
[chuckling]
Football brings out
this inexplicable energy.
[laughing]
[official in English]
The UEFA Champions League will be played
as a final-eight straight
knockout tournament in Lisbon.
[Neymar in Portuguese] It'll be
a different Champions League
from everything we've seen before.
We must get ready for it,
both tactically and psychologically.
It's non-stop.
[dramatic music playing]
[reporter in French] Five months
after the second game
in the round of 16 versus Dortmund,
Paris gets to advance to
the quarterfinals of the Champions League
for the first time in 25 years.
The second time in their history.
[Di María in Spanish] Losing the round
of 16 and quarterfinals.
We always fear the same things.
[in Portuguese] We got back
to our training and all.
Our coaches were a bit worried
about Atalanta.
I must confess,
I didn't think it'd be so hard
to advance to the next stage.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Thiago] It's 50-50 while you're battling.
Like in the UFC, if you strike hard first,
the odds are in your favor.
[whistle blows]
So it happens that they struck hard first,
and it was a decisive blow.
[commentator in English]
Djimsiti. Zapata let it run.
And got it back. It's Pašalić who scores!
[fans cheering]
[Thiago in Portuguese]
Neymar has his place in the team.
He's the star who makes a difference.
[suspenseful music playing]
[commentator in English] It's Neymar!
It's gotta happen for him soon.
[in Portuguese] At eighty-something
almost 90 minutes. It was 1-0 to Atalanta.
I thought,
"Damn, will I lose today's game?"
"Will I go back home,
and feel like I could have gone further?"
[dramatic music playing]
I said, "C'mon! Five minutes left!"
"Just the injury time."
"No time to feel sorry for ourselves.
Let's do it!"
"In these five minutes,
we must give it our all, no matter what."
"We can't get knocked out this way."
I asked God for a good ball.
"Help me out!" [chuckles softly]

LET'S GO!!
[screaming excitedly]
[in Portuguese] Fucking awesome!
Let's fucking do it, PSG!

God, at 90 minutes, man!
We thought, "Let's turn it around."
"Let's not go to extra time, no way."

Captain, the moment is here.
[reporter in French] "Dream big."
PSG's slogan takes on a new meaning.
It's a unique opportunity
to reach the Champions League final.
[reporter in English]
It's a very different Neymar
to the one we've had in Paris
for the last three years now.
He's playing the best football
of his career. He looks far more humble.
I really think
that he is far happier in his life,
in the way he plays.
[cheering]
[commentator speaking French]
Paredes is going to take advantage of it!
With Di María! For the Parisians!
It's a magic trick given by Neymar.
And all Di María's lucidity.
Oh, what an inspiration.
- These are signs of a confident man.
- [commentator 2] Yes.
[commentator 1] Paris gets to
the Champions League final

We wanted to win the Champions League.

We've been waiting

Fifty years!

Our players are in good shape,
the team is working well together.
Neymar is in shape.
The team is very united.

[man 2] At first,
Neymar somehow had problems with the fans.
Right now, it's a love story.
We're all supporting Neymar
because he's the conductor,
and he's now playing with love.
[reporter 1] Good evening
and welcome to Estádio da Luz.
Today, 50 years ago,
PSG played their first final in history.
[reporter 2] PSG reached the finals
thanks to some new talent,
as well as Neymar's contributions.
[Neymar in Portuguese] I kept thinking
In my mind, I kept repeating,
"Settle down, you're here," you know?
[soft music playing]
[in Spanish] Every player dreams
of getting to a Champions final.
You can't help but think
of everything that might happen.
It's unique.
I can't explain it.
[Neymar in Portuguese] We knew it'd be
a tough game against an aggressive team.
But I was at peace.
I was pretty happy,
light on my feet.
[whistle blows]
[fans cheering]
[Neymar] We had a chance to score,
but we missed it.
[somber music playing]
[crowd screaming]
[Navas in Spanish] It was a great effort,
and the team should be proud
because we held our head high
and kept going.
[inaudible]
[teammate] We kept playing our game
and didn't change.
He kept the same mentality.
[Neymar in Portuguese]
And then it was all over.
[referee whistles]
[cheering]
[Thiago] Looking at our team,
it shouldn't have happened.
But that's football.
That's how football works.
I got so close, you know?
But we couldn't
I was devastated,
completely saddened by it,
like all the other players.
[man 1 in French] I won't lie.
We're super disappointed after this loss,
but we're a bit proud too.
It was our first final. We made history.
[Neymar in Portuguese]
After that jolt of adrenaline,
we look back and say,
"Man, we did something huge."
[cheering]
[man 2 in French] It means
the world to us Parisians.
We all play football from an early age.
A few of us are fortunate
and make it to the top.
We support the club.
We're Parisians, and we're proud.
It represents our community.
It's our club, our identity.
PSG deserved the win.
We've been awaiting for so long.
They had the best team they could afford.
It's totally unfair.
[man 3] Never forget that we made it
to the Champions League final.
It's a big deal. We wanted to win.
[inaudible]
[man 3] Our first time.
There'll be more, God willing.
[fans] We're at home ♪
We're at home ♪
We're at home ♪
We're at home
We're at home ♪

[somber music playing]
[Neymar Sr. in Portuguese] When I talk
to people, I talk about Neymar.
Why did we make this far?
How did we make this far?
How did we overcome all obstacles?
Experiencing Neymar's daily life.
Always being by his side.
While I'm by his side, I won't give up.
And I'm certain he won't give up on me.
So, sometimes,
Neymar steps out of the chaos,
as you can see.
[upbeat music playing]
Yet, chaos is constant in football.
[crowd in French]
Neymar, son of a bitch ♪
[in Portuguese] The next day,
he's out playing again.
There's always another tournament.
There are more demands, so
As things keep moving,
Neymar becomes a possible hero.
[crowd cheering]
You can demand a lot of Neymar,
and he steps up to the challenge
because I always demanded a lot of Neymar.
- What's your name?
- Neymar.
- [Neymar Sr.] A bit louder.
- Neymar.
[Neymar Sr.] Do you think
your future is in football?
[Neymar] Yes, it is.
GOLDEN BOOTS
[Neymar] When you're little
when you dream big
you don't think about being famous.
You think,
"I want to be a football player."
We got on that pitch.
We broke in so we could play there.
That's my institute now.
During the little time off I have,
I came to see the kids at the institute,
see how they're doing.
It was my dream, my family's dream.
[Neymar Sr.] This is my legacy.
Instituto Neymar Jr. is my legacy.
What I've been through,
all I've learned,
even at school, I've brought it here.
The metaphorical school, you know?
The school of life, right?
[in English] I think the legacy now
You have a real opportunity
to make a difference. Not just
on the field, but off the field.
And sometimes, what you do off the field
is more important than some of the things
that have happened on the field.
[Lima in Portuguese] Neymar is great.
That scrawny kid is great.
He was the cornerstone for all this.
You know, he learned.
He really made it there,
and he did so on his own merits.
The main lesson?
Here's a marvel.
It's about
believing you can do it.
Will we play football in a bit?
- We will.
- Down at the square?
- Are you gonna make Dad play?
- Mm-hm.
- At the square?
- Mm-hm.
Let's do it then.
[chuckling]
Right now?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
[Davi] What are the best boots
for that pitch downstairs?
[Neymar] The ones without the studs.
Dad will help you.
- Does it still fit you?
- [Davi] It does.
[Neymar] Wait.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Neymar] We're coming.
- How do we get in?
- [Davi] There.
Pull it.
Push it. It's not locked.
Dad, Luca, Igor
Pick your teams. Dad will be goalie.
You and someone else.
[Neymar Sr.] Children don't fall in love
with football as a sport.
Run, Dad!
[Neymar Sr.] At first,
they fall in love with a ball.
No complaining, Davi. [grunts]
[Neymar Sr.] They don't care
about the pitch, the rules.
They can play anywhere.
Damn, Davi! Score now!
Score now!
Goal!
Bug spray, anyone?
[Neymar] How does it end?
Man
Fuck, bro.
Ah, the end! [laughing]
No.
It's not the end.
We keep going. We keep soaring.
[upbeat music playing]
THE STORY CONTINUES
LET'S GO, PSG
